BBC Radio 4: The Four Last Songs
September 2009
The BBC are looking for people who have special stories to tell about their feelings for Richard Strauss's Four Last Songs for a forthcoming radio programme.
The programme producer is interested in finding people for whom the songs have played an important role in their lives. And people with a strong story to tell. Maybe you heard it at a very special time in your life? And maybe you still have strong memories of this that you would be willing to share on the Radio?
